That's Why

He knew we'd so be lost without Him

that's why He left Heaven's throne

to come as a child to the wicked and wild

not to condemn but atone

He knew that we needed forgiveness

that's why His mercy was free

when all hope was lost He became the cost

to ransom a sinner like me



CHORUS

I am living in the promise

there is grace for every need

He knew that we needed a Savior

that's why His precious blood flowed

and I do believe every drop was for me

and that's why I love Him so





He knew that we all needed healing

that's why He took every stripe

the hammer and nails, the anguish He felt

was torment that should have been mine

but He could see hope in the making

for someone as hopeless as me

that's why He rose over death He imposed

so that I could forever go free



Repeat Chorus



I do believe every drop was for me

And that's why I love Him so

That is why I love Him so

That is why I love Him so

That is why I love Him so

Ooh, that is why I love Him so

Ooh
